Mayfly
Directed by Jeff Graves
Set in a Shropshire village, Joe White’s tender and wise play is suffused with grief, loss – and unexpected laughs in which a family searches for new beginnings
Ben thinks his family might be better off without him, but his wife Cat has read her stars: ‘Today a very special person will appear from out the blue.’
Their daughter Loops is getting ready for a date. It’s her first one, and she has everything crossed.
‘An affecting debut play… White has a great ear for the sharp and sometimes spiteful edges of grief’ – Time Out
